Opportunity Summary:
The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) Assistance Award is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), Office of International Visitors funding opportunity that supports organizations to help run the IVLP, the State Department's flagship professional exchange program. Established in 1940, the IVLP brings current and emerging foreign leaders to the United States for carefully structured, short-term visits that match their professional fields and advance U.S. foreign policy objectives. The central purpose is to build mutual understanding between the United States and other countries through direct engagement with American institutions, professionals, and communities.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State anticipates substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The Bureau indicated it intended to make up to six awards, structured as one base year plus two option years, for an anticipated total performance period of about 36 months. Collectively, the awards are expected to support programming for roughly 4,800 international visitors.
Funding levels are set with a required proposal budget range: applicants must request no less than $500,000 (award floor) and no more than $5,245,000 (award ceiling). The estimated total funding across all awards is listed as approximately $15,735,000, with the final amount dependent on the availability of FY 2014 funds. The announcement also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the full program guidance.
Eligibility is limited to public and private nonprofit organizations that meet the requirements of 26 USC 501(c)(3), including nonprofit institutions of higher education as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and other qualifying nonprofits. A key compliance rule is that an applicant may submit only one proposal under this competition. Additionally, organizations that are eligible for renewal in FY 2014 must choose between submitting a renewal application under solicitation number ECA/PE/V 14 01 or submitting under this FY 2014 IVLP RFGP solicitation (ECA/PE/V 14 05 OY B). Submitting to both tracks triggers automatic technical ineligibility for all submissions from that applicant, and the proposals will not advance for review.
For reference, the funding opportunity number is ECA PE V 14 05 OY B and the associated CFDA program is 19.402 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs - International Visitor Leadership Program). The posting date listed is April 30, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2013, and an archive date of June 8, 2013. The agency contact named in the notice for access issues is Hans Posey, Program Specialist, at poseyhe@state.gov.
